Native cockroach. Polyzosteria mitchelli (Angas)ID David RentzIt looked like a beetle as it ran along not far from a light brown cockroach I photographed the same day.1.5cm long
Don't you love the face?? :-))We visited one of our local bushland reserves today and found this beauty sitting on a shrub about 45cm from the ground. As I was photographing it a small insect flew past and the cockroach made a lunge toward it but missed.It was a large one - 35mmPolyzosteria fulgens MackerrasThanks for the ID David Rentz 14-1-2012
